Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics: Developmentally Appropriate Instruction, Third Edition
Pearson, 2017
There are three grade level versions: Pre K-2, 3-5, 6-8
Pre K-2 ISBN: 978-0-134556-43-7
3-5 ISBN: 978-0-134556-42-0
6-8 ISBN: 978-0-134556-41-3
Unfortunately, there is no 9-12 version of this book. However, we believe that high school teachers would benefit from engaging in the book study centered around the 6-8 volume.
